No, and it's not a good idea to do WYSIWYG development for HTML. HTML is
not a format that produces static content; it varies depending on screen
fonts, browser, and platform, and getting that right means sticking to
relative layout, making content flow, and taking care of quirks. WYSIWYG
editors don't do any of that. and the quality of their output is dubious
at best.
Taking the time to produce sane HTML and CSS is a must for web
development, but it's not that difficult a task and the knowledge to do
it can be learned in a few days.
I agree. I have used WYSIWYG editors for static pages in the past and I
guess I would again under appropriate circumstances. I still have
Dreamweaver.
For Django however, the only way forward is to use css to lay out your
pages and logic to populate them. The quantity of actual html code ought
to be deliberately reduced to the absolute minimum for reasons of
maintainability and re-use.
Here are a couple of links which might help ...

It is easy to understand. A little effort now will save you vast effort
later. It isn't too steep to get up there.
Good luck.
Thanks

I'm just getting started with django coming from a background of
developing desktop apps on *nix. Is there something equivalent to a
GUI builder for django?
Alternatively, is there a good WYSIWYG html editor that produces
editable html so I could quickly create a template and then retrofit
it with django template tags?
Thanks
